INVALID Business Contact Information -- eBay Buisenss Account

[Hypothermic]

Hello,

I created a LLC after my personal account was suspended. However, I am going to be selling new items on this new business account - they are not f.akes.

I have the following:

- New LLC
- EIN Number
- New Buisness Bank account
- New Buisness Credit Cards/Debt Cards
- New Address
- New Land line
- New DSL ISP
- New PC

I am ready to make my new eBay and PayPal Buisness Bank Accounts. However, it asks for business contact information. There is only one members of the LLC and I am unsure what I should place -- I can't place my real name as it may get linked to my suspended account. C

Can I place any information I want for the contact information; as for as First and Last Names goes? All other information will be correct and valid.

Also, does eBay and PayPal ever ask for SS# of the LLC Members or Photo ID? It is a legit business.

Thank you.

For your name, if you have a nickname use that or a similar variation. Paypal and eBay do not link accounts by name alone.

As for EIN and SSN, PayPal asks for SSN, not EIN. They do not accept EIN numbers sadly.

Oh my!

What do I do? I have my SSN linked to my personal PayPal account that was linked to my suspended eBay account.

Am I in trouble? Do I need my SSN when I create my new Buisness eBay And PayPal account?

I cant have this new eBay account suspended! It's the only way I can support myself!

you have to make stealth accounts then

I just used EIN about 2 weeks ago. Called on phone, spoke to person then supervisor (regarding some other issue), then was told I could send proofs by snail mail (yay) and that they wanted my EIN and a piece of mail with the business name and address. They never asked for SS so I didn't have to weasel it at all.

Part of the ease has to do with psychology. Call with some other mundane issue but act like it is the end of the world and completely flip-out, if you can ⊗⊗⊗⊗ it. Then, near the end of the call, mention the email request for info and play it all calm and bored. The process goes much smoother and faster than if you focus on the confirmation issue moreso than something ridiculous.

There is some issue here that we need to pin down regarding who can use EIN and under what circumstance. EIN is all I ever use.

They got my SS number back in 1999, but that acct is still fine and in cryogenic freeze for some doomsday event. Heh.

BUSINESS ACCOUNT ASKING SOCIAL SECURITY BUT WANT TO USE TAX ID OF BUSINESS, PLEASE HELP HOW TO DO THAT

inverser@ Thank you for that link. I saved the comments and will use that process if they ever ask for my SSN.

nobody999@ The problem is that I really don't want to. I want to operate under with real information and I want to make this my last eBay account and build up with a long term business model. I hope this won't be a problem. I filed for a legit LLC, address, bank accounts, etc.

My personal account was suspended, so I trying to just forget about that, and close my personal PayPal account and just make a new business one and never look back.

EIN working just fine for me so far.

gurusgrafx's@ That's good to hear. I can not here to make a bunch of accounts to list f.ake items and such. I was suspended for unfair VeRO violations. It just wanst fair, I was selling on my personal account. But I know what isn't really to professional.

I just want to get back on eBay and start clean for my business and not look back. Selling new items that I won't have to worry about VeRO.

Oh yeah? I've only heard otherwise. I guess I get to test it out with the update.

Good to know. Thanks.

Sent images via PM to two members, proof that PP Debit Cards are in fact issued to businesses.

I don't want everyone to see my card, but two people I trust can now support my statement if they choose to speak up.

[inverser]

I can confirm they do exist. Thanks for showing me the card, Vic!

NP.

Sent the EIN papers that were used to do it, too. Separate PM. Genuine stuff, legit card.

And I estimate about a level 2 stealth technique.

[inverser]

All I can say is WOW! I hope to be at this level myself in a couple months. ^_^

Oh, hell. Here, everybody. Look, not just one... As you can see, one was obtained this year, and two I've had for a while. This is not a new thing.



Yes. That's really me. Some of you may recognize the glasses idea from the Transmetropolitan comic. Among my friends, that's an inside joke.

[inverser]

LOL WTF Vic LMFAO

Well... Stealth, you know.
